OCCUPATION MORTALITY 

This exhibit is Hmited to the essentials of industrial 
hygiene as reflected in the mortality experience of an 
Industrial insurance company and the general mortality 
data of particular occupations as derived from official 
returns. It includes 24 large and 10 small charts, 
descriptive of the elements of occupational mortality, 
chiefly, however, as derived from the Industrial experience 
of The Prudential during the period 1907-1910. These 
charts are exhibited in Section VI of the Exhibition.* 

No. 1. Principal Occupations of Insured Males 

During this period of four years there were 103,434 
deaths of occupied males in the Company's experience, and 
of this number 59,606, or 58%, were deaths of persons 
employed in manufacturing industries. The details, by 
industrial groups and for the principal occupations, are 
given in Table I of the Statistical Appendix. The facts are 
precisely illustrated in Chart 1 of the exhibit, according to 
which the largest number of deaths was of laborers, num- 
bering 19,486, or 18.8% of the mortality of occupied 
males. It has not been found feasible on this occasion 
to make a similar analysis of the mortality of women, 
since the proportion of employed females returning specific 
occupations suitable for analysis is relatively small. 

No. 2. Mortality of Occupied Males, by Principal Causes 

Chart 2 illustrates the mortality of occupied males, by 
principal causes and divisional periods of life. At ages 15 
and over the principal cause of death was tuberculosis, 

^Industrial and Occupational Hygiene. 



which accounted for 21.9% of the mortality from all causes. 
The proportionate mortality from tuberculosis varied con- 
siderably, however, for different periods of life, having been 
35.5% at ages 15-24, 42.9% at ages 25-34, 34.6% at ages 
35-44, 19.4% at ages 45-54, 9.S% at ages 55-64, and only 
3.4% at ages 65 and over. The details for other diseases 
are given in full in Table II of the Statistical Appendix. 

In explanation of the term, "proportionate mortality," 
it requires to be said that for the purposes of industrial 
hygiene the number of deaths from preventable diseases, 
with a due regard to age, is, strictly speaking, the determin- 
ing element in the efforts which are being made throughout 
the nation to reduce the death rate by the elimination of 
causes or conditions which give rise to the mortality from 
preventable diseases. For the purposes of industrial hy- 
giene the proportionate mortality is, therefore, of much 
greater practical significance than death rates as calcu- 
lated on the basis of the numbers living at all ages or at 
selected periods of life. In view of the very large number 
of persons exposed to risk in the experience of an Industrial 
insurance company, it would involve a considerable amount 
of clerical labor and the expenditure of much money to as- 
certain the occupational death rate — that is, the mortality 
by occupation from all causes, or from specified causes, per 
1,000 living, by divisional periods of life. Granting the 
utility of the present method for general insurance pur- 
poses, it is obvious that for the needs of industrial hygiene 
every scientific requirement is met by a precise statement 
of the proportionate mortality from specified causes in the 
mortality from all causes among men in selected occupa- 
tions, with a due regard to ages at death. The propor- 
tionate mortality admits of no controversy as regards its 
accuracy, since only one set of facts is dealt with, whereas 
in the calculation of occupational death rates the returns 
for the living population, by occupations, are usually 
ascertainable only by quite different methods than the occu- 
pation returns as given on the death certificates. In other 
words, for the purposes of industrial hygiene, the fact of 
real importance is the proportion of deaths from prevent- 
able diseases at different periods of life; and as conditioned 
by this point of view the present exhibit is practically 
limited to the use of the proportionate mortality method, 
except as otherwise stated, in the case of mortality returns 
for certain special occupations for which all the required 
information could be obtained. The proportionate method 
of mortality can be made use of by any boardof health with- 

4 



out any difficulty, and the method therefore lends itself to 
conclusive investigations as regards the incidence of pre- 
ventable diseases in the mortality of men and women em- 
ployed in all dangerous or unhealthful trades. In brief, the 
question of real importance in industrial hygiene is the 
waste of life from preventable causes, as is best illustrated in 
the proportionate mortality of 42.9% for tuberculosis 
among occupied males, ages 25-34. It is obvious that if 
modern methods aiming at the administrative control and 
gradual elimination of this disease are successful the death 
rate at this period of life, whatever it may now be, will be very 
substantially reduced by a material diminution in the 
mortality from this disease. 

No. 3. Mortality of Farmers and Clerks 

Chart 3a. This chart exhibits the details of the mor- 
tality of farmers, by principal causes and divisional periods 
of life. In the case of all specified occupations it has seemed 
best to make the age groups between 25 and 64 larger than 
in the mortality chart for all occupations, since otherwise 
the numbers in some cases would be too small and the 
analysis itself would certainly be much more complicated, 
with, no increase in practical utility. The number of 
deaths considered at ages 15 and over was 4,003, the 
largest number occurring at ages 65 and over, which in 
itself is fairly conclusive evidence of the superior longevity 
of this class. The principal cause of death at ages 25-44 
was tuberculosis, or 33.1%, followed by accidents, with 
11.3%, and pneumonia, with 9.0%. At ages 65 and over 
the principal causes of death were apoplexy and paralysis, 
which accounted for 18% of the mortality from all causes 
in this age group, followed by urinary diseases, with 16.0%, 
and heart diseases, with 15.4%. The details of the mor- 
tality of farmers are given in Table III-A of the Statistical 
Appendix. 

Chart 3b. This chart exhibits the mortality of clerks 
by principal causes and divisional periods of life. There 
were 3,443 deaths among persons of this occupation, the 
largest number of deaths having occurred at ages 25-44. 
In this age group the principal cause of death was tubercu- 
losis, which accounted for 45.9% of the mortality from all 
causes, followed by urinary diseases, with 8.8%, and pneu- 
monia, with 8.5%. The details of the mortahty of clerks 
are given in Table III-B of the Statistical Appendix. 



No. 4. Mortality of Bartenders and Saloonkeepers 

Chart 4a. This chart exhibits the mortahty of bar- 
tenders by principal causes and divisional periods of life. 
There were 1,163 deaths among persons of this occupation, 
the largest number of deaths having occurred at ages 25-44. 
In this age group the principal cause of death was tubercu- 
losis, which accounted for 36.4% of the mortality from all 
causes, followed by urinary diseases with 10.1%. Of the 
total mortality of males in this occupation, 5.7% was due 
to liver diseases, which compares with a proportionate 
mortality of 2.9% from this cause among all occupied 
males. The details of the mortality of bartenders are given 
in Table IV-A of the Statistical Appendix. 

Chart 4b. This chart exhibits the mortality of saloon- 
keepers by principal causes and divisional periods of life. 
There were 665 deaths among persons of this occupation, 
the largest number of deaths having occurred at ages 25-44. 
The principal cause of death in this occupation was tuber- 
culosis, which was responsible for 18.3% of the deaths from 
all causes, followed by urinary diseases, with 16.1%, and 
liver diseases, with 11.1%. As in the case of bartenders, 
the high mortality from urinary and liver diseases is an 
indication of the influence of the occupation upon the mor- 
tality. The details of the mortality of saloonkeepers are 
given in Table IV-B of the Statistical Appendix. 

No. 5. Mortality of Coal Miners and Iron and Steel Workers 

Chart 5 a. This chart exhibits the mortality of coal 
miners by principal causes and divisional periods of life. 
There were 1,723 deaths among persons of this occupation. 
The principal cause of death was accidents, which was re- 
sponsible for 22.9% of the mortahty at all ages. At ages 
15-24 accidents caused 58.1% of the mortality, and at ages 
25-44, 38.3%. The details of the mortality of coal miners 
are given in Table V-A of the Statistical Appendix. 

Chart 5b. This chart exhibits the mortality of iron 
and steel workers by principal causes and divisional periods 
of life. There were 1,298 deaths among persons of this 
occupation, the largest number of deaths having occurred 
at ages 25-44. In this age group the principal cause of 
death was tuberculosis, which accounted for 29.9% of the 
mortality from all causes, followed by accidents, with 20.5%. 
The details of the mortality of iron and steel workers are 
given in Table V-B of the Statistical Appendix. 



No. 6. Mortality of Railroad Brakemen and Electric Linemen 

Chart 6a. This chart exhibits the mortaUty of railroad 
brakemen by principal causes and divisional periods of life. 
As would be expected, accidents were responsible for the 
majority of the deaths in this occupation, accounting for 
63.3% of the total mortality of 537 from all causes. The 
largest number of deaths occurred at ages 25-44. In this 
age group the principal cause of death was accidents, 
which accounted for 58.7% of the mortality from all causes, 
followed by tuberculosis with 15.7%. The details of the 
mortality of railroad brakemen are given in Table VI-A of 
the Statistical Appendix. 

Chart 6b. This chart exhibits the mortality of electric 
linemen by principal causes and divisional periods of life. 
There were 205 deaths among persons of this occupation. 
As in the case of railroad brakemen, accidents were the princi- 
pal cause of death. The largest number of deaths occurred 
at ages 25-44. In this age group accidents were responsi- 
ble for 45.3% of the total mortality, followed by tubercu- 
losis, with 23.4%. The details of the mortality of electric 
linemen are given in Table VI-B of the Statistical Appendix. 

No. 7. Mortality of Glass Workers and Stone Workers 

Chart 7a. This chart exhibits the mortality of glass 
workers by principal causes and divisional periods of life. 
There were 465 deaths among persons of this occupation, 
the largest number of deaths having occurred at ages 25-44. 
In this age group the principal cause of death was tubercu- 
losis, which accounted for 48.1% of the mortahty from all 
causes. The details of the mortahty of glass workers are 
given in Table VII-A of the Statistical Appendix. 

Chart 7b. This chart exhibits the mortality of stone 
workers by principal causes and divisional periods of life. 
There were 534 deaths among persons of this occupation, 
the largest number of deaths having occurred at ages 45-64. 
The principal cause of death among stone workers was 
tuberculosis, which at ages 25-44 accounted for 47.8%, and 
at ages 45-64, for 32.3%, of the mortality from all causes. 
The details of the mortality of stone workers are given in 
Table VII-B of the Statistical Appendix. 

No. 8. Mortality of Carpenters and Masons 

Chart 8a. This chart exhibits the mortality of car- 
penters by principal causes and divisional periods of life. 
There were 4,756 deaths among persons of this occupation, 

7 



the largest number of deaths having occurred at ages 45-64. 
The principal cause of death among carpenters was tuber- 
culosis, which accounted for 16.1% of the mortality from 
all causes, followed by urinary diseases with 13.4%, and 
heart diseases with 11.4%. The details of the mortality of 
carpenters are given in Table VIII-A of the Statistical 
Appendix. 

Chart 8b. This chart exhibits the mortality of masons 
by principal causes and divisional periods of life. There 
were 1,647 deaths among persons of this occupation, the 
largest number of deaths having occurred at ages 45-64. 
In this age group the principal cause of death was tubercu- 
losis, which accounted for 15.7% of the mortality from all 
causes, followed by urinary diseases with 13.9%, and pneu- 
monia with 10.9%. The details of the mortality of masons 
are given in Table VIII-B of the Statistical Appendix. 

No. 9. Mortality of Painters and Plumbers 

Chart 9a. This chart exhibits the mortality of painters 
by principal causes and divisional periods of life. There 
were 2,783 deaths among persons of this occupation, the 
largest number of deaths having occurred at ages 45-64. 
The principal cause of death in this occupation was tubercu- 
losis, which accounted for 34.7% of the deaths from all 
causes at ages 15-24, and 39.9% at ages 25-44. The specific 
influence of the occupation upon the mortality is shown by 
the deaths from lead-poisoning, which appear in all of the 
age groups under consideration, being responsible for 2% 
of the mortality at ages 15-24, 1.7% at ages 25-44, 1.5% at 
ages 45-64, and 0.7% at ages 65 and over. The details of 
the mortality of painters are given in Table IX-A of the 
Statistical Appendix. 

Chart 9b. This chart exhibits the mortality of plumb- 
ers by principal causes and divisional periods of life. There 
were 1,133 deaths among persons of this occupation, the 
largest number of deaths having occurred at ages 25-44. 
In this age group the principal cause of death was tubercu- 
losis, which accounted for 42.1% of the mortality from all 
causes, followed by accidents, with 10.6%. The details of 
the mortality of plumbers are given in Table IX-B of the 
Statistical Appendix. 

No. 10. Mortality of Printers and Machinists 

Chart 10a. This chart exhibits the mortality of 
printers by principal causes and divisional periods of life. 

8 



There were 1,001 deaths among persons of this occupation, 
the largest number of deaths having occurred at ages 25-44. 
Tuberculosis was by far the most important cause of death 
in this occupation, accounting for 49.8% of the mortality 
from all causes at ages 15-24, 49.5% at ages 25-44, and 21.9% 
at ages 45-64. The details of the mortality of printers are 
given in Table X-A of the Statistical Appendix. 

Chart 10b. This chart exhibits the mortality of 
machinists by principal causes and divisional periods of life. 
There were 2,632 deaths among persons of this occupation, 
the largest number of deaths having occurred at ages 25-44. 
In this age group the principal cause of death w^as tubercu- 
losis, which accounted for 40.8% of the mortality from all 
causes, followed by accidents with 10.5%, and urinary 
diseases with 7.5%. The details of the mortality of machin- 
ists are given in Table X-B of the Statistical Appendix. 

No. 11. Mortality of Bakers and Cigarmakers 

Chart 11a. This chart exhibits the mortality of bakers 
by principal causes and divisional periods of life. There 
were 729 deaths among persons of this occupation, the 
largest number of deaths having occurred at ages 45-64. 
The principal cause of death in this occupation was tubercu- 
losis, which accounted for 19.8% of the mortality from all 
causes, followed by urinary diseases with 13.9%. The 
details of the mortality of bakers are given in Table XI-A 
of the Statistical Appendix. 

Chart lib. This chart exhibits the mortality of cigar- 
makers by principal causes and divisional periods of life. 
There were 739 deaths among persons of this occupation, 
the largest number of deaths having occurred at ages 45-64. 
In this occupation the principal cause of death was tubercu- 
losis, which accounted for 54.8% of the mortality from all 
causes at ages 15-24, 45.5% at ages 25-44, and 19.6% at 
ages 45-64. The details of the mortality of cigarmakers are 
given in Table XI-B of the Statistical Appendix. 

No. 12. Mortality of Tailors and Textile Workers 

Chart 12a. This chart exhibits the mortality of tailors 
by principal causes and divisional periods of life. There 
were 1,160 deaths among persons of this occupation, the 
largest number of deaths having occurred at ages 45-64. 
In this occupation the principal cause of death was tubercu- 
losis, which accounted for 58.0% of the total mortality at 
ages 15-24,48.6% at ages 25-44, and 11.2% at ages 45-64. 



The details of the mortality of tailors are given in Table 
XII-A of the Statistical Appendix. 

Chart 12b. This chart exhibits the mortality of textile 
workers by principal causes and divisional periods of life. 
There were 1,587 deaths among persons of this occupation, 
the largest number of deaths having occurred at ages 45-64.

losis, which accounted for 40.8% of the total mortality at 
ages 15-24, 47.5% at ages 25-44, and 19.3% at ages 45-64. 
The details of the mortality of textile workers are given in 
Table XII-B of the Statistical Appendix. 

No. 13. Age Distribution of Deaths from Principal 
Causes — Males 

Chart 13. This chart exhibits the age distribution of 
deaths of males from principal causes in the Industrial 
experience of The Prudential, 1906-10. The chart visual- 
izes the relative frequency of deaths from principal causes, 
by divisional periods of life, and illustrates precisely the 
wide dissimilarity in the age incidence of the more impor- 
tant diseases. The causes dealt with in detail in this chart 
are valvular disease of the heart, diseases of the liver, 
apoplexy, pneumonia, tuberculosis, Bright's disease, cancer, 
typhoid fever, and accidents. These causes combined 
account for 64.1% of the mortality of males from all causes. 
The details of this chart are given in Table XIII of the 
Statistical Appendix. 

No. 14. Age Distribution of Deaths from Principal 
Causes — Females 

Chart 14. This chart exhibits the age distribution of 
deaths of females from principal causes in the Industrial 
experience of The Prudential, 1906-10. The chart visual- 
izes the relative frequency of deaths from principal causes, 
by divisional periods of life, and illustrates precisely the 
wide dissimilarity in the age incidence of the more impor- 
tant diseases. The causes dealt with in detail in this chart 
are apoplexy, diseases of the liver, accidents, Bright's 
disease, tuberculosis, pneumonia, cancer, diseases of par- 
turition, and valvular disease of the heart. These causes 
combined accounted for 61.3% of the mortality of females 
from all causes. The details of this chart are given in Table 
XIV of the Statistical Appendix. 

No. 15. Ten Principal Causes of Death, Ages 15-44. 

Chart 15. This chart exhibits the Prudential Ordinary 
mortality experience, by ten principal causes of death, 

10 



according to sex, at ages 15-44. It is shown that at this 
period of hfe among males the principal cause of death was 
tuberculosis, which accounted for 27.5% of the mortality 
from all causes, followed by accidents, with 14.6%, and 
pneumonia, with 9.7%. In the case of females the principal 
cause of death was tuberculosis, which accounted for 28.3% 
of the mortality from all causes at this period of life, followed 
by diseases of parturition, with 10.8%, and pneumonia, with 
6.9%. The details of this analysis are given in Table XV 
of the Statistical Appendix. 

No. 16. Ten Principal Causes of Death, Ages 45 and Over 

Chart 16. This chart exhibits the Prudential Ordinary 
mortality experience, by ten principal causes of death, 
according to sex, at ages 45 and over. It is shown that at 
this period of life among males the principal cause of death 
was urinary diseases, ^hich accounted for 11.9% of the 
mortality from all causes, followed by apoplexy and paraly- 
sis, with 11.2%, and pneumonia, with 10.3%. Among 
females the principal cause of death at this age period was 
cancer, which accounted for 17.2% of the mortality from 
all causes, followed by apoplexy and paralysis, with 12.5%, 
and urinary diseases, also with 12.5%. The details of this 
analysis are given in Table XVI of the Statistical Appendix. 

No. 17. Industrial Mortality by Single Years of 
Life — All Causes 

Chart 17. This chart exhibits the Prudential Indus- 
trial mortality experience from all causes, by single years of 
life. The largest number of deaths of males in adult life 
occurred at age 65, or 1.76% of the mortality at all ages. 
For females, the year of maximum adult mortality was also 
at age 65, but the relative proportion of deaths was 1.86%. 
The details of this analysis, commencing with age 2 next 
birthday, are given in Table XVII of the Statistical Appen- 
dix, which shows also that the number of deaths considered 
was 72,579 males and 71,741 females. This analysis is limited 
to the mortality during the two years 1909 and 1910. 

No. 18. Industrial Mortality by Single Years of Life — 
Typhoid, Accidents, and Tuberculosis 

Chart 18. This chart exhibits the mortality, by single 
years of life, of males and females, from typhoid fever, 
accidents, and tuberculosis. The chart emphasizes the 
variation in the age incidence of particular diseases, 

II 



especially in the case of accidents and of tuberculosis of the 
lungs, the two causes most prominent in the mortality of 
males in adult life. The details of this chart are given in 
Table XVIII of the Statistical Appendix. 



No. 19. Industrial Mortality by Single Years of Life — 
Pneumonia, Bright's Disease and Heart Diseases 

Chart 19. This chart exhibits the mortality, by single 
years of life, from pneumonia, Bright's disease, and heart 
diseases. The chart emphasizes the importance of these 
diseases in the mortality at the older ages, and the fairly 
close correspondence of the curves for males and females in 
the case of these three diseases. The age of maximum 
mortality in adult life was practically the same for all three 
causes, and the slight variations are probably the result 
of small numbers. 

Charts 17, 18 and 19 precisely illustrate the mortality 
factors in adult life which require to be taken into account 
in scientific considerations of the relation of occupation to 
mortality. The details of Chart 19 are given in Table XIX 
of the Statistical Appendix. 



No. 20. Mortality of New England Textile Operatives 

Chart 20. This chart illustrates the mortality of New 
England textile operatives, 1897-1908. The data are de- 
rived from a special analysis of the death certificates of the 
principal New England cities representative of the textile 
industries. Among males, tuberculosis was the principal 
cause of death, accounting for 22.0% of the mortality from 
all causes, followed by heart diseases with 9.9%, pneumonia 
with 9.2%, urinary diseases with 9.1%, and accidents with 
7.8%. For females the proportionate mortality from 
tuberculosis was 34.2%; from heart disease, 7.9%; from 
pneumonia, 1 .l^o\ and from other digestive diseases, 6.1%. 
The larger proportion of deaths from tuberculosis among 
females is primarily the result of the relatively large pro- 
portion of young women employed in the textile industries. 
The mortality, by divisional periods of life, brings out the 
fact of an excessive tuberculosis frequency in a more precise 
and conclusive manner. The details of this analysis are 
given in the table below.

No. 21. Fatal Accidents in Coal Mining 

Chart 21. This chart is derived from the official 
statistics of State mine inspectors of the United States and 
Canada. The fatality rate in coal mining during the 
decade ending with 1910 is shown to have been highest in 
British Columbia, or 9.21 per 1,000 employed, followed by 
Colorado with 8.39, New Mexico with 6.71, and Alabama 
with 6.15. The lowest rates prevailed in Missouri (1.48 
per 1,000), Iowa (2.09), Kentucky (2.19), and Maryland 
(2.28). The fatality rate in American coal mining has 
gradually increased from 2.32 per 1,000 in 1886 to a maxi- 
mum of 4.18 per 1,000 in 1910. The details of this chart 
are given in Table XXI of the Statistical Appendix. 

No. 22. Fatal Accidents in Metalliferous Mines 

Chart 22. This chart is derived from the official 
returns of State mine inspectors of metal-mining States, but 
for periods of variable lengths, since the data are not avail- 
able for some States for all of the years of the period 1894- 
1911. The chart shows the variations in the fatality rate 
for the different States and the several years, indicating a 
considerable degree of fluctuation and a not very definite 
tendency towards a diminution in the liability of metal 
miners to fatal accidents. The causes of accidents are 

^3 



given on the chart in the horizontal bars for each State, 
and it is shown, for illustration, that in the metal mines of 
Idaho the principal cause of fatal accidents was falls of 
roof, which accounted for 32.6% of the fatalities from all 
causes, whereas in the iron mines of Dickinson County, 
Mich., the corresponding percentage was 38.1, and in the 
lead and zinc mines of Missouri, 40.0. The chart is self- 
explanatory and requires no extended discussion, but the 
details for each State, as far as available, are given in Table 
XXII of the Statistical Appendix. 

No. 23. Mortality of Copper Miners, Butte, Mont. 

Chart 23. This chart is derived from a special analysis 
of the mortality data of the city of Butte, Mont., for the 
period 1907-11. The proportionate mortality is shown by 
principal causes and by divisional periods of life, emphasiz- 
ing the predominating importance of accidents and tubercu- 
losis. At ages 15-24, of the deaths from all causes 41% 
were from accidents and 10.8% from tuberculosis; at ages 
25-44, tuberculosis caused 28.5% of the deaths from all 
causes at this period of life, and accidents 23.2%; at ages 
45-64 the proportionate mortality from tuberculosis was 35%, 
followed by pneumonia with 11.3%, heart disease with 8.8%, 
and accidents with 8.6%; at ages 65 and over the principal 
cause of death was respiratory diseases other than pneumonia, 
chiefly asthma and bronchitis, which accounted for 25% of 
the mortality from all causes, followed by pneumonia with 
11.1%, heart disease with 11.1%, and tuberculosis with 
9.7%. 

The chart visualizes the two principal causes destructive 
to life and health in copper mining — that is, (1) accidents 
and (2) tuberculosis — but in addition thereto respiratory 
diseases, particularly pneumonia, are responsible for a con- 
siderable proportion of the deaths, and the significant fact 
disclosed by the analysis is that the proportionate mortality 
from tuberculosis should increase from the younger to the 
older ages up to age 65, which is in marked contrast to the 
general experience. The chart warrants the conclusion 
that, aside from the dangerous character of copper mining, 
the occupation is subject to health-destructive conditions, 
chiefly on account of the considerable and continuous in- 
halation of mineral and metaUic dusts. The chart em- 
phasizes other important elements of mortaHty, including 
the age distribution at death and the distribution of deaths 
by nativity. The entire analysis includes 1,221 deaths of 

14 



copper miners, which may safely be regarded as sufficient 
for the present purpose. 

The details of this chart are given in Table XXIII of the 
Statistical Appendix. 

No. 24. Mortality of Metal Miners, Utah 

Chart 24. This chart has been derived from the official 
records of the State Board of Health of Utah. The mor- 
taHty includes metal miners generally, and the number of 
deaths is hardly sufficient for final conclusions. The mor- 
tality considered includes only 224 deaths, but the facts 
are quite instructive, especially with regard to the pro- 
portionate mortality from accidents. Accidents caused 
60% of the deaths from all causes at ages 15-24, 43.1% 
at ages 25-44, and 13.3% at ages 45-64. The propor- 
tionate mortality from tuberculosis was less than in the 
case of Butte copper miners, having been 20.6% at ages 
25-44 and 21.3% at ages 45-64. The comparatively small 
number of deaths precludes final conclusions, but the facts 
are sufficient to indicate that the mortality from accidents 
is quite excessive; the mortality from tuberculosis, how- 
ever, is apparently normal. The details of this analysis 
are given in Table XXIV of the Statistical Appendix. 

No. 25. Mortality of the Chicago Police Force 

Chart 25. This chart exhibits the mortality of the 
Chicago Police Force (uniformed men) for the period 
1885-1910, by single years from accidents and homicides, 
and from all causes. The principal causes of death are 
shown for the ten-year period 1901-10. The fatality 
rate from accidents, including homicide, was 17.6 per 
10,000 employed, followed by pneumonia with 15.5 per 
10,000. The age distribution of deaths during the same 
period is also shown. The information upon which 
this chart is based has been derived from the official 
reports of the Chicago Police Department. The details 
of the mortality of Chicago policemen are given in Table 
XXV of the Statistical Appendix. 

No. 26. Mortality of Weavers 

Chart 26. This chart exhibits the mortality of weavers 
in New England textile mills, 1897-1908. The data are 
derived from a special analysis of the death certificates of 
the principal New England cities representative of the tex- 
tile industries. Among males, tuberculosis was the princi- 

15 



pal cause of death, accounting for 21.9% of the mortality 
from all causes, followed by accidents with 9.7% and 
urinary diseases with 9.4%. For females the proportionate 
mortality from tuberculosis was 24.4%, from pneumonia 
9.1%, and from heart disease 8.2%. The chart also shows 
the mortality distribution by ages at death and by nativity. 
The details of the mortality of weavers are given in Table 

XXVI of the Statistical Appendix.

was only 157 lbs. The details of this chart are given in 
Table XXXIX of the Statistical Appendix. 

No. 40. Weight and Disease 

Chart 40. This chart exhibits the average weight at 
entry of decedents from the principal causes of death with 
distinction of sex. The average weight at entry of males 
dying from diabetes was 166 lbs., as contrasted with an 
average weight at entry of those dying from tuberculosis 
of only 147 lbs., and an average weight at entry of decedents 
from all causes of 157 lbs. The details of this chart are 
given in Table XL of the Statistical Appendix. 

No. 41. Relative Weight and Cause of Death 

Chart 41. This chart exhibits the percentage distribu- 
tion of the decedents from the principal causes of death 
within five specific weight groups. For illustration, 36.3% 
of the deaths of males of very light weight were due to 
tuberculosis, while of those of very heavy weight only 2.4% 
died from this cause. The details of this chart are given 
in Table XLI of the Statistical Appendix.

TROPICAL MORTALITY 

Charts 42 to 45 exhibit the mortahty statistics of the 
tropical possessions of the United States, and are derived 
from the official health records. These charts are exhibited 
in Group XI of the Exhibition.* 



No. 42. Mortality of Porto Rico 

Chart 42. This chart exhibits the mortality statistics 
of the island of Porto Rico. The annual death rate of the 
island is shown for the years 1900-1911. During this period 
the death rate decreased from 47.1 per 1,000 in 1900 to a 
minimum of 20.1 in 1909. The unusually high death rates 
in 1900 and 1901 were largely due to the terrific West Indian 
hurricane which devastated the island in the fall of 1899. 
The distribution of mortality by principal causes and by age 
groups is shown for the island of Porto Rico and for the city 
of San Juan for the years 1910 and 1911. Diarrhoea and 
enteritis were responsible for the largest number of deaths, 
accounting for 20.4% of the mortality from all causes in 
the city of San Juan and 15.5% in the island as a whole. 
The details of this chart are given in Table XLII of the 
Statistical Appendix, 

No. 43. Mortality of the Territory of Hawaii 

Chart 43. This chart exhibits the mortality statistics 
of the Hawaiian Islands. The annual death rate for the 
city of Honolulu is shown for the years 1902-1911 and for 
the Territory of Hawaii, exclusive of Honolulu, for the years 
1906-1911. In the island of Hawaii, exclusive of Honolulu, 
the death rate during 1911 was 14.4 per 1,000. This low 
death rate is due in a great measure to the large proportion 
of adult population. The percentage distribution of ^ the 
mortality from principal causes, and by age groups, is given 
for the city of Honolulu for the years 1902-1911 and for the 
Territory of Hawaii, exclusive of Honolulu, for the years 
1904-1911. In the city of Honolulu tuberculosis was the 
most important cause of death, accounting for 15.7% of the 
mortality from all causes, followed by nervous diseases with 
12.4%. In the territory of Hawaii, exclusive of Honolulu, 
the most important cause of death was nervous diseases, 
which accounted for 11.8%, followed by tuberculosis with 
9.9%. The details of this chart are given in Table XLIII 
of the Statistical Appendix.

No. 44. Mortality of the Philippine Islands 

Chart 44. This chart exhibits the mortahty statistics 
of the Phihppine Islands. The annual death rate of the 
city of Manila is shown by quarters for the years 1901-1911. 
The year 1902 reflects the outbreak of the cholera epidemic 
during the second quarter, with a death rate of 79.6 per 1,000, 
and attaining to 91.4 per 1,000 in the following quarter. The 
rates for the third quarter of both 1906 and 1908 also show 
the effects of minor epidemics occurring during those periods. 
The percentage distribution of the mortality from princi- 
pal causes and by age groups for the city of Manila for 
the years 1903-1911, and for some thirty-three provinces 
for the years 1908-1910, is also shown. In the city of 
Manila the most important cause of death was convulsions 
of children, accounting for 19.9% of the mortality from all 
causes, followed by tuberculosis with 12.5%. In the provinces 
the most important cause of death was malaria, which ac- 
counted for 14.3%, followed by convulsions of children with 
13.4%. In the city of Manila 44.8% of the mortality was of 
children under the age of one year; this infant mortality is the 
highest of any of the tropical countries under consideration. 
The detailed statistics upon which this chart is based are 
given in Table XLIV of the Statistical Appendix. 

No. 45. Mortality of the Panama Canal Zone 

Chart 45. This chart exhibits the mortality statistics 
of the Panama Canal Zone. The annual death rate among 
the employees of the Isthmian Canal Commission on the 
canal and railroad is given for the years 1905-1911, with 
distinction of white employees and other employees. The 
annual death rate from all causes is also shown for the cities 
of Panama and Colon, and for the Canal Zone exclusive of 
these cities, for the years 1907-1911. The percentage dis- 
tribution of the mortality from principal causes and by age 
groups is also shown. For the total population the principal 
cause of death was malaria, which accounted for 13.8% of the 
mortality from all causes, followed by pneumonia with 12.7%. 
For the white employees external causes accounted for 40.7% 
of the mortality, followed by malaria with 20.6%. For 
the colored employees the principal cause of death was 
pneumonia, which accounted for 23.3% of the mortality from 
all causes, followed by external causes with 21.6%. The de- 
tailed statistics of this chart are given in Table XLV 
of the Statistical Appendix.
